      IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332    | February 28th WG had probably sunk into the worst slump since DDay. Many of our most dedicated and friends left, hoping for a better future. Some left in search of better PvP. Some left because of friends. Whatever their reasons, WG was left as a figment of its former self with a bleak future. It was unclear what was going to happen. I know Darth, Glenn and even I considered leaving. We doubted WG's survival. We gave it a week. We didn't think WG could recover from such a heavy lost. But we stayed strong. We tried making a mandatory raid to recover, to prove that we were not done yet. We pulled 13 to our mandatory. WG's slipping future was even more sure then. All this time, WG got crap from certain ex-members who left, encouraging others to leave and experience the epic battles in larger clans. "All the good pkers left WG," one said. "Only the power hungry stayed behind, hoping to get ranked." But we didnt take their crap. From what I remember, we even lashed back, resulting in several warn levels and demotions. But we stayed strong. Remember these raids?  Glenn stepped down to make room for his real life. We lost our Warlord. Another heavy hit. We took a step into P2P PvP, which each raid barely reaching 10 members. We were unable to fight any clans, and were forced to fight teams only. Although there was some slight success, WG's future still looked bleak. (00:25:08) <*****> Because the leaders are incapable. They don't know what they're doing. But we stayed strong. After several raids, we began to make our way into stronger fights. We destroyed Gladz with our tactics. We demolished TNG with unfamiliar rules in our first P2P fight in ages, only losing 2. With the dedication of our members, fought Distortion for 3 hours, up until 2AM GMT. We destroyed infliction and TNG, then fought TDW twice against superior numbers without banking once. We held against GW late at night, against double our opts. Even with paltry pulls, we fought against 100 welfarers and destroyed them. WG vs Gladz  WG vs TNG/TDW  WG vs Distortion  We stayed strong. Our ML began to increase rapidly with our success, and many of the people who left returned. Thanks to those that stayed behind while everything seemed so bleak, we survived. Thanks to the faith and belief everyone had, we pulled through. It seemed impossible, but we did it. I can not manage to thank those people enough. We believed, and it worked. --------------- To those who I talked to closely, you know that I never wanted to become Council. I never wanted to become Warlord. I always prefered to stay in the background, and I was worried that I was unable to do what I needed to do. I blamed myself alot for the slump, not helping Glenn as much as I should have. But ever since the mass leavings, I knew what I had to do, and I knew I had to fix what I had caused. I applied hoping to redeem myself, and thanks to you guys, I've done some good. But have been slacking alot. WG has not been doing as pvp as it should have been. Many of our great P2P promises have been forgotten. A return to F2P and improvement in organization has been delayed for a long time. New P2P targets and quality raids have been absent (This is why I argued so vehemently for spies). But you guys deserve better then that. For all the loyalty you've shown WG, you deserve better then that. I know that many of you have been disgruntled due to the lack of action and activity from the leadership. I'm renewing the promises that I took when I became a Raid Leader, and I hope to help WG once again. I just hope that you guys renew your efforts too. I'm hoping you guys are willing to give me another chance. We all know whats in the near future. Already, the effects can be seen; many are back to school and activity is dropping. People have jobs, and both leaders and members cant be as active as before. But we will stay strong. If I think I'm incapable or too inactive to continue my job, then I will step down. But I'm not quite done yet, and I hope that you guys aren't either. What is impossible? What is a slump? What does it mean to be a Wilderness Guardian? You tell me. Lets fucking do this. WHOS WITH ME? -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||

Right now is not even near as bleak as times that we've reached before. Less than 6 months ago, we had about ~30 goodbyes over about two days. We recovered. Your effort and energy is all we need. We are one. -------------------- That's Mr. Glennfase to you. Ex-Warlord/Council  | ||

I stuck around after D-day and i know what its like, it aint easy. All of you should give yourselves a pat on the back. I wish I spent more time with WG then, but with uni I barely had chance to. I'll never leave WG, but I can no longer fully commit to it. But until term starts, I'm definitely ready to kick some ass in P2P PVP again -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||
